Frequently asked

The details, up front.

How quickly can you place a step-in cover?

For most cities, we can have a vetted professional in your chair within 24–72 hours.

Do you charge professionals to register?

Never. Our service is free for stylists and barbers — salons pay the placement fee.

What if a placement isn't the right fit?

Our no-fit-no-fee guarantee covers the first introduction for permanent placements.

Are professionals vetted?

Every professional is reference-checked, with portfolio and (for senior roles) a trade-test.
